 ### Fixed
 
+- `posix_fadvise` now returns errors in the conventional way, rather than as a
+  non-zero value in `Ok()`.
+  (#[1538](https://github.com/nix-rust/nix/pull/1538))
 - Added more errno definitions for better backwards compatibility with
   Nix 0.21.0.
   (#[1467](https://github.com/nix-rust/nix/pull/1467))
 - Fixed potential undefined behavior in `Signal::try_from` on some platforms.

 ### Removed
 
 - Removed a couple of termios constants on redox that were never actually
